General

The General section within Vault Synapse provides access to foundational configuration settings for your organization’s environment. It opens in the Application Defaults view, where administrators can manage basic organizational details, file types, My Profile display options, and system notifications. Most fields are pre-populated based on your organization’s initial setup by an administrator, but they can be updated as needed to reflect branding, security preferences, and operational workflows. 

From here, you can define your organization name, upload an avatar and favicon, and customize sign-in options. You also have the ability to configure supported file types, control which features are visible in users' profiles, and manage notification preferences for all users in the system. All settings in this section contribute to creating a consistent, branded, and secure experience across your Vault Synapse environment. 

Fill out the following fields:

• Organization Name – Enter your organization name here. 
• Organization Avatar – Upload a picture that graphically represents your organization. 
• Select Organization Avatar Size – Choose between small, medium or large. 
• Select Organization Avatar Alignment – Choose between left, centre or right. 
• Favicon – Upload a Favicon here (shortcut icon for your organisation website). 
• Sign in options – Displays the preferred sign-in methods configured in the Providers section of the Organization dashboard.
